When indexing message attachment metadata using numeric indexes such as:
```javascript
{
conversationId: '+12223334455',
received_at: 123,
attachments: […],
numAttachments: 2,
},
{
conversationId: '+12223334455',
received_at: 456,
attachments: [],
numAttachments: 0,
}
{
conversationId: '+12223334455',
received_at: 789,
attachments: [],
numAttachments: 1,
}
```
It creates an index as follows:
```
[conversationId, received_at, numAttachments]
['+12223334455', 123, 2]
['+12223334455', 456, 0]
['+12223334455', 789, 1]
```
This means a query such as…
```
lowerBound: ['+12223334455', 0, 1 ]
upperBound: ['+12223334455', Number.MAX_VALUE, Number.MAX_VALUE]
```
…will return all three original entries because they span the `received_at`
from `0` through `Number.MAX_VALUE`. One workaround is to index booleans using
`1 | undefined` where `1` is included in the index and `undefined` is not, but
that way we lose the ability to query for the `false` value. Instead, we flip
adjust the index to `[conversationId, hasAttachments, received_at]` and can
then query messages with attachments using
```
[conversationId, 1 /* hasAttachments */, 0 /* received_at */]
[conversationId, 1 /* hasAttachments */, Number.MAX_VALUE /* received_at */]
```
